asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he has yet come to any decision on the question of the earlier closing of shops, the Order in respect of which expires next month?

No, Sir. I am making some inquiries, and it may be some little time before I can come to a decision. The present Order does not expire till the 30th of April.
